Two men are due in court this morning charged in connection with the criminal activities of a West Dublin organised crime group.
The men were arrested at their respective homes in Dublin and Wexford last night and are facing organised crime, drugs and money laundering charges.
They are being detained as part of an investigation by the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau into the criminal communications platform known as Ghost.
Gardai say the network was established to facilitate serious and organised crime by dangerous criminal networks operating on a global scale and was used for a wide range of criminal activities, including: large-scale drug trafficking, money laundering, instances of extreme violence and other forms of serious and organised crime.
Detectives arrested a 56-year-old man at his home in West Dublin last night and a 64-year-old in Gorey in Co Wexford.
Both are due before the Dublin District Court later this morning.
